The 10 Best Horseback Riding Tours in Lake District, England
Cumbria's valleys and fells (as the low mountains are known) are home to idyllic villages, high moorlands and picturesque lakes. Literary buffs will enjoy Wordsworth's Dove Cottage (go in March to see daffodils), and if you've got kids in tow, visit The World of Beatrix Potter. Or just enjoy a leisurely drive through beautiful scenery.

Me and my partner both love horses and were staying in the area so decided to book a farm ride at Cumbrian heavy horses and was not disappointed! The booking was really straightforward and was told what to expect when we arrive etc. especially as we are not experienced riders. Kim took us out, she was so friendly and told us lots about the horses, it ended up just being us three during the farm ride so it was really relaxed and we got lots of photos with the beautiful surroundings. The horses are truly beautiful and clearly so cared for and loved. Thank you for a great day!

Booked in for a private lesson and hack last week with Laura. Both sessions were great! Laura was really welcoming and friendly and made me feel right at ease straight away. Setting of the yard is lovely, beautiful views from the outdoor arenas and both horses were a joy to ride. I did the hour and a half hack and the scenery was beautiful, woodland trails & even a stone circle! Next time I have some free time I will definitely pop back up for a ride. Thank you Bank House for reigniting my riding passion it was great to be in the saddle again ????☺️

A unique opportunity to learn more about the Friesian horse and the very strict studbook they belong to. Get up close and personal, find out what it's like to ride and/or drive one of these beautiful black horses, maybe even take one to the beach. Small group tours of the farm available to spend some time with the horses. Or, come and celebrate a special occasion with a horse drawn carriage ride round Cartmel or for your wedding. Riding suitable for experienced riders.

We booked trecking for our three grandchildren aged 3,6,and 9 direct with Leacett cottage due to one of our children being over the centre park age limit and believe me we made a good choise. The selection of the horses was perfect for their ages and they all agreed that it was a highlight of the holiday. I cant understand the moaners on this review site, as we found the facilities , the booking and the staff fantastic. Thank you , We will be back next year.
